Vancouver Island Mountie charged with breach of trust

An officer with the Nanaimo RCMP has been charged with breach of trust, according to officials.

Const. Mark Tyler Hilland is facing the charge in connection with “events that are alleged to have occurred in Nanaimo between July 2 and 3, 2024,” the BC Prosecution Service said in a statement Tuesday.

“The charges were approved by an experienced Crown counsel who has no connection with the accused.”

His first appearance is set for provincial court in Nanaimo on June 17.
